They're all the same so far as pure Perl is concerned. Just install
5.005_02 and you're set. The only trouble that you might conceivably have
is if you want to run a CPAN module that uses Perl's .xs extension
mechanism where the working code is actually written in C. Then
occasionally you might have trouble if C header files (.h files) are in
the "wrong" place or are missing.

Browse around on tre CPAN testers site,
<http://www.connect.net/gbarr/cpan-test/> and you'll get an idea of the
types of problem you might run into and how rare they are.
